How did Jimmy pull off a $99,000 bank robbery in just five minutes?

Jimmy Dakin 0:00
Ninety nine thousand dollars. In five minutes I just took control of the bank. It was like a switch went off. So this is where it gets interesting. My wife, when she had the first kid, she turned into super mom. And there was no time to be a wife. Right. So it was kind of a loveless, sexless marriage. It was more of a partnership. We had two more kids. There were some sex. Um probably um we had sex five times in three years.
Matthew Cox 0:31
No. Are you serious?
Jimmy Dakin 0:32
And and she got pregnant three more times and she she actually had a miscarriage on my birthday to where she actually delivered the little baby in the toilet. Oh my god. And then she had to reach in and and pull him out. And that's kind of when I started on the downward spiral of like depression. Right. Um I had got a job with a a JB Hunt trucking. I I was making a lot more money. But they told us when I got the job, they told us both, you're gonna have to relocate. We have no accounts in Dayton, Ohio. And she refused to move. She says, I'm not moving, I'm not leaving I'm not leaving my mom. And I'm like, You know we gotta move. Right. So I call my boss, I say, She don't wanna move. And he's like, Well, I don't wanna lose ya.
Jimmy Dakin 1:23
He goes, But if you want to work for us, you're gonna have to travel. And that was pretty much the end of the marriage right there, 'cause I'm on the road every week going to accounts. And then towards the end, m my job was basically I had an expense account to where I would go to accounts that were in trouble. And I would take, like, you know, the shipping supervisor out to dinner, take him golfing, keep them sloppy drunk. The problem is when you send an unhappy Man into that kind of environment, especially I'm like twenty eight, twenty nine years old at the time.

I mean I mean how am I gonna sell us? I I mean how am I gonna sell my boss five hundred dollars at the flash dance cabaret on my Expense report.
Matthew Cox 2:28
But um you play golf right down the street. There's a bowling alley, fellas.
Jimmy Dakin 2:33
It was all together. They served food. But um it was like, you know, you send a twenty nine, twenty eight year old kid with an expense account into that kind of life in an unhappy marriage. Right. It's just doomed. And it was kind of more of a partnership at the end. You know, she always wanted to be a stay at home mom. She didn't want to go back to work after my first son was born. And that was fine because I didn't want to
Matthew Cox 2:56
Are you making care of enough money? I'm making about
Jimmy Dakin 2:58
sixty thousand dollars. And this is and in Dayton, Ohio in two thousand, that's not a bad life. Right, right. You know, and then you know, the more you make, you upgrade, you get a bigger house. You know, she wanted an expedition, so I got her a Ford expedition and we got a nice four bedroom house and so I'm paying all the bills and she's taking care of Of like home. Right. And then I'll come home on the weekends and it's just arguments. You know, we gotta go to the grocery. We gotta get the yard work done. And and then, you know, she's like Well, I want to be a stay at home mom. I didn't want to be a single mom. And I said, look, you didn't want to relocate. I said, We couldn't make this money if I left JP Hunt.
Jimmy Dakin 3:45
and start out at what I was making. I mean I started at the bottom and worked my way up. Right. And I said, I can't go back to the pizza business and keep us in this stuff. So you made the choice to stay home. All right. So that was kind of the end of the marriage and um like I said, it was a partnership. I wanted to divorce her. But Being I was with divorced parents and I knew she was the type of woman that she would she would go for the jugular. I mean she would she would have me living in my car if she could. And I didn't really care about that because I wanted to take care of my boys.
